The Exposure Draft Revenue from Contracts with Customers (IASB 2011)provides guidance.Paragraph B3 states: To account for the transfer of products with a right of return (and for some services that are provided subject to a refund),an entity shall recognise all of the following:
(a)revenue for the transferred products in the amount of consideration to which the entity is reasonably assured to be entitled (considering the products expected to be returned);
(b)a refund liability; and
(c)an asset (and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales)for its right to recover products from customers on settling the refund liability.
As noted above,the revenue to be recognised is that to which it 'is reasonably assured to be entitled'.In relation to what 'reasonably assured to be entitled' means,paragraph 81 states:
If the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled is variable,the cumulative amount of revenue the entity recognises to date shall not exceed the amount to which the entity is reasonably assured to be entitled.An entity is reasonably assured to be entitled to the amount of consideration allocated to satisfied performance obligations only if both of the following criteria are met:
(a)the entity has experience with similar types of performance obligations (or has other evidence such as access to the experience of other entities); and
(b)the entity's experience (or other evidence)is predictive of the amount of consideration to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for satisfying those performance obligations.
If the criteria noted above are not met then no revenue would be recognised.
For more information refer to 'Revenue recognition when the right of return exists'.
